Halcyon Days

Heading down to the water's edge A relaxing place to hang out Forgetting my everyday cares and woes Watching kids jump and shout Everyone's wearing a great big smile Laughing and skipping along Reminding me of my halcyon days Singing those happy songs Cherish those spirited days of yore With us for too short a while Never to return except in our thoughts So greet each day with a smile! © Jack Ellison 2013

You know the old saying... Smile and the whole world smiles with you... I'm smiling... PS. My mind hasn't stopped laughing and singing... and bouncing around... Does that mean I'm still young...
